Handbook of Research on Ubiquitous Computing Technology for Real Time Enterprises

This publication has been indexed in the DBLP Computer Science Bibliography.

The great strength of this book is its truly broad coverage of the subject. Current research topics such as context-aware computing, wireless connectivity, and the Internet of things are complemented by chapters covering a whole spectrum of challenges ranging from scalability to multimodal human computing interaction.

I am impressed by the fresh look that Ubiquitous Computing for Real-Time Enterprises offers on the crucial role of IT-Security Aspects for the future omnipresent networked computers. Part IV of the book, called liability", discusses this role in the larger context of accounting and charging issues, of human-centered models for trust and accountability, and of the conflicts between privacy and traceability."

I was highly impressed by the systematic approach to and broad coverage of Ubiquitous Computing topics; with its focus on the Realtime Enterprise", the book choose exactly the right application domain, the one that is about to spark the dawning new era of computing; it proves that UbiComp is about to change the business world, and will ultimately have a dramatic impact on our entire life."

The book reflects and represents the technology transfer bridge between academia and practice: not only does it describe all scientific aspects of Ubiquitous Computing very thoroughly, it also shows the status of their applicability and the actual use of this revolutionary technology in top-of-the-line high-tech applications.

From business processes down to smart items and wireless communications, from scalability aspects to human factors, this book covers ubiquitous computing for the real-time enterprise systematically and exhaustively.

This encyclopedic treatment details what will come after the mainframe and personal computer eras, namely the state of technology in which networks computers surround every user.
